Sarah Polley
The remake, based on the 1942 animated classic, is still in development, even following the exit of Disney's former film head Sean Bailey.
The Oscar-winning "Women Talking" writer-director is reportedly in talks to helm the adaptation.
April Fools! Polley's 11-year-old played a cruel prank on the "Women Talking" Oscar winner — complete with David Rubin's fake signature.
The Oscar nominee has a utopian dream for her film: that it makes people, yes, talk. She tells IndieWire about the conversations, the characters, and the choices that got her there (and what's next).
Polley instead praised Gina Prince-Bythewood's "The Woman King" nomination, writing, "This nomination for you was all I needed today to be happy."
Luc Montpellier, Robert Richardson, and Rob Legato tell IndieWire about their film's bold and unusual approaches to color palettes.
Polley told IndieWire she thinks the directors of "Till," "The Woman King," and "Aftersun" should've been nominated tonight.
"Women Talking" and "The Woman King" are both on the cusp of landing Best Picture and Director nominations. Which one will make it?
The acclaimed drama, adapted from Miriam Toews' book, opens wide January 20.
Coogler, Robbie, and Polley will accept honors in San Francisco this December along their awards season journeys.
Polley, who starred in the film as a child, recently spoke out about director Terry Gilliam's lack of concern for her safety on set.
"That does not mean that it’s only been made now because it’s latching onto something," Foy said of the Sarah Polley-helmed "fable."
